Treasury Star Parade

Feature Story

English · Radio, Dramatic Readings, War & Military Fiction

Treasury Star Parade was a wartime radio series created to support the U.S. Treasury’s efforts to promote the sale of war bonds. Its programs brought together well-known performers and dramatic storytelling in service of that public campaign.

The series offered short dramatic features, often built around themes of sacrifice, service, and life on the home front. This recording is identified as a feature story, presenting a self-contained piece in the program’s dramatic format.

Its blend of radio drama and wartime purpose gives the program a distinctly earnest tone. The result is a snapshot of how popular entertainment and public messaging came together on the air during World War II.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
